Chapter 36: The Rush (Part II)
(Recommended music in this chapter - "Loyal to the Country", while listening to and reading this chapter, you will feel more)
The dark night obscured Shijie and spread fear, and the morning star of nothingness dotted it, shrouding the bright moonlight and making Shijie silent.
But the trembling of the earth broke the silence, thunder, a flood, a rolling wave, from far and near, sweeping away the momentum and majesty that destroyed everything, rushing into the darkness.
"Wooββββββββββ......"
The sound of the horn echoed in the sky, but it was not covered by the thunder, but the wind helped the fire, and the dull and long sound, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, shouts, crashes, and fierce winds, made people can't help but muster up a lot of blood and burst out of their inner courage.
Holding the sword tightly in his hand and holding it high above his head, sweat in his palms, Theodore gritted his teeth tightly, and the howling wind blew in front of him, flying away from both sides, as if torn from the middle.
The tingling sensation in his head grew deeper and deeper, but it made him more energetic, and the black night sky obscured his vision, but it also gave him a reason not to be afraidβno matter how fierce the enemy was, it was non-existent for him!
The flying hooves of the horses carried the knights forward, Theodore's sword raised forward, guiding the knights behind them, the knights held their spears flat, and did not say a word, their fiery hearts hidden under the cold armor, and the sharp tips of their spears swore to pierce all darkness!
They are knights, they are the watchmen of mankind, they are the sword in the hand of their master, the spear in their hand, and they are as proud as the riding spear in their handβsharp and powerful, but so fragile that they can only withstand a single blow and then be crushed.
As it got closer, Theodore's breathing became more and more rapid, but the long sword in his hand was firmly clenched. He could even faintly hear the screams of the disgusting beast, the breathing.
"Do not be afraid---do not flinch-shout your oath-strengthen your heart-!" Theodore burst out hoarsely: "strengthandhonor--!!!"
βstrengthandhonorββββββββββοΌοΌοΌοΌβ
It seemed that it was not only the knights behind him, Theodore even heard the same shout from the other side, and the excitement and the momentum of seeing death at home was clearly audible!
βstrengthandhonorββββββββββοΌοΌοΌοΌβ
"Die!!"
The dark Liliang seemed to become so fragile and powerless at this moment, and the stirring fluctuations in everyone's hearts resonated, turning them into a powerful whole and becoming unstoppable.
Even if we can't see it, what can we do? Is there anything else that can stop us?!
"Knock ββββββββ!!!!!!"
Broken guns, chopping sounds, screams, crashes, roars...... Noisy, chaotic, incessant. These sounds made Theodore feel as if time had frozen in this moment, and everything around him had left him, like a flowing picture, constantly flickering at the edge of his vision.
But Theodore didn't think much of it, he only wanted to do one thing now.
That's to cut it down hard!!!
"Give -- me -- to die-- !!!"
Roaring angrily, Theodore swung the long sword in his hand downward, and with Weber's speed, the whole person seemed to be about to pass all the liliang out of the sword!
"Bell ββββββ!"
The sound of the impact sounded, and the violent vibration was transmitted from the blade to the hilt, and the sharp pain made him grit his teeth. But Webber wasn't going to stop because of that, and continued to charge forward with a hiss. Theodore had no choice but to let go of the handle and leave the sword there.
"Whew-whew-whew-," gasped, and Theodore began to wake up after the excitement, the pain became more pronounced, and the darkness returned.
"Valens!" shouted Theodore, wide-eyed, looking around, though he could not see anything: "Valens!!"
"Caesar!" Valense's characteristic loud voice reached Theodore's ears, and the voice was so excited and delightful: "Caesar, I've always been here!
"Lord Julianβ!" Aaron's voice also appeared, with a wave of excitement: "Are you okay?!"
"It's so good-!hahaha......" Theodore daxiao, as if the night was no longer so disturbing, wiped a handful of sweat with his hand: "hahahahahaha......ha
The sound of rolling horses' hooves is still so shocking, which makes people feel full of energy and confidence. Theodore was happy, and then Aaron began to laugh too, and then the laughter reached Valens, and then all the knights, and everyone laughed heartily, and laughed and laughed, and this laughter became another thunderclap that shook the night.
"Hahahahaha.................."
"Hahahahaha........................"
"Hahahahaha........................"
......
"Wooββββββββββββββββββ"
"Trumpet!" Aaron said happily, "It's Salald!"
"Wonderful!" said Theodore, shaking his shoulders to make himself comfortable, kicked his calves slightly, turned his head, and shouted behind him:
"Let's go home!"
"Yo ββββββββββββ!!!!"
The sound of the gentle horse's hooves like waves, like the waves of the setting sun, crisp and coherent, the knights were smiling, relaxed and comfortable, accompanied by the long neighing of the horses, galloping in this quiet night.
There is still no moon in the sky, only bright and twinkling stars to guide the knights, the endless floating Milky Way hangs above the sky, the bright stars keep flashing and flashing, I can't see the edge, and I don't know where it started, which makes people intoxicated, calms down and excites the heart, and becomes quiet and peaceful.
In the distance, under the tall main peak of Severcro, there was a small bright color, which stopped there without moving, and that was the castle of Severcro, the light of the castle, which was so pleasant that the knights cheered up and continued to run there on horseback.
It was home, a place to sleep in peace, with food, ale, warm haystacks and hard plank beds.
Although it was still a little far away, no one complained, because it was close to everyone.
It's just a few steps away.
"Valens!" called Theodore to him suddenly.
"Caesar?"
"Just now, I mean just now, there was a moment. Theodore was a little embarrassed, and his hand kept flicking back and forth on the reins, causing Webber to snort irritably.
"I almost thought it was ...... You've been, so it's true. Theodor said incoherently, "But there was a moment when I ......"
"Caesar!" Valence interrupted softly, his tone still so calm that he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad, angry or sad, "I am your knight, which also means that my life, oath, liliang and honor belong to you, all of this." β
"So, whether it's language, or curses, or whatever. Valence said in a deep voice: "I will walk with you, I am your sword, your shield, and you only need to show the way for your sword and shield, and please leave the rest to us!"
"We will win back glory and victory for you!"
β...... xiexieγ Theodore didn't know what to say, but it seemed that a word of thanks was too pale, or that all rhetoric was pale in the face of such an oath.
Because, that is the liliang that is closely connected with the soul.
The lights are becoming more and more visible, and you can even see the castle, with its erected walls, towering watchtowers, and colorful flags fluttering on it, proclaiming the glory and heritage to which they belong.
Many knights had already begun to cheer quietly, not only for the joy of victory, but also for the joy of surviving, and a special pride.
What could be more memorable than an adventure like no other?
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"They're back. β
Standing on the city wall, Old Best looked into the distance, his knighthood made him extremely familiar with the fluctuating sound of horses' hooves, even if he didn't see it clearly, he found the returning knights early.
"What else do you have to say now?" Brenus leaned against the wall and looked at the calm Best with a smile, "Now they're back." β
"And it must have been a big win. β
"I hope so. Old Best ignored him, and just responded coldly: "I just beg that their casualties are not too heavy, that will seriously damage the confidence of resistance in the castle." Anything can happen in the dark of night. β
"I'm curious why you trusted the boy named Theodore Julian so much, and trusted to lend him a hundred knights, and even your son. Best didn't reply and asked, "What is it about him that you value so much?"
"Huh. Brennus smiled, looked up and remembered, took a glass of ale and poured the foam into his mouth.
"If the reason is too direct, it should be more of a feeling. Julian, Theodore Julian, this man has unimaginable courage and wisdom, and he keeps his promises, so that if he says yes, you will be absolutely convinced of his feelings. Brenus looked at the wine glass, his eyes were indulgent, and the fragrant foam stained his beard: "And, my son, Aaron, he told me so. β
"What did he tell you?"
He said that when he went to Caesarea and saw him in the hall of the guy, he had a delusion. The corners of the Grand Duke's mouth were raised high: "He said, he almost thought that what he saw was me Brenus." β
"See you?" said Best laughed, "That's interesting." β
"This Roman achievement will never be just a little bit, if...... The empire is still there, even if I fight to the death, I must kill him!" Brenus said in a deep voice: "But now, I wish he would grow up quickly, only such a person can have the opportunity to join forces with me Brenus!"
"Huh. Best smiled, "This is not like what the Black Falcon said!"
"It's an eagle, and it's not as good as it used to be. Brenus shook his head self-deprecatingly.
"Because of the plague?"
"There's a reason for that. The old duke vaguely admitted: "It's also been peaceful for too long." β
"It's coming!" Bester saw that the two teams of knights were rushing towards this side, and hurriedly shouted, "Quick!
"Open the gates!"
"Buzzing ββββββββ" Some old gates were slowly pulled open with ropes, and the shafts made a grinding sound, and they rose up little by little.
"Are you going to welcome them?" said Brenus with a smile as he held his glass, "Whether you go or not, I will go, my son is still waiting for me!"
"You old drunk!" shook his head helplessly, and Best had to come down from the tower.
"My lord, are we going?" asked the knight beside him.
"Aren't we going? Let those boys laugh at me, Old Best doesn't even have the courage to do this?!" Old Best said angrily, "Let's go quickly, don't make people wait."
Old Best, who had not yet taken off his uniform, walked down from the city wall with his cronies of knights, but saw that a large group of lords were already waiting here, so he scolded "a group of sycophants" and continued to walk.
Looking up, Theodore's not very burly body was sitting on the horse, but how did it shake it?
Before Old Best had time to think about it, that figure, as if it had been blown by the wind, fell to the side!
"Caesar!"
"Lord Julian!!"
